Climate Minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska is known for her brave fight against everything that, in her opinion, could harm the climate. However, it often happens that her theses, which are heavily surrounded by climate change ideology, cause ridicule from Internet users. In recent days, she first argued that burning in home fireplaces is harmful because, in her opinion, people burn wet wood in them, and then she returned to promoting her ‘ idea of ​​building windmills in Poland as a main source of energy in our place. a country

Fighting with fireplaces

Today, on Radio Zet, Hennig-Kolska supported the ban on burning in fireplaces in some Polish cities.

If we want to improve the quality of the air, we also need to make sure that the wood we burn in the fireplace is no quieter than coal, because we use untreated, freshly cut wood. thrown into the fireplace pollutes the air a lot, and I think. that everyone we want to breathe clean air in Poland

she said.

Of course, the minister’s words are complete nonsense. Very few people try to burn wet wood in their home fireplaces. This type of wood is not suitable for a fireplace because it burns slowly, produces less heat, produces more ash and stains the fireplace glass more quickly.

But that’s not all

However, this case is only a small sample of the controversial views of Paulina Henig-Kloska. Currently, she is under fire because her ministry is again trying to promote renewable energy solutions in Poland. A few weeks ago, the National Plan for Energy and Climate was published.

He assumes that there are radical changes in Poland’s energy mix. The ministry wants 56 percent of energy to come from renewable energy sources and only 22 percent from coal sources before the end of the current decade.

It is worth noting that solid coal and lignite power plants cover up to 60 percent of Polish demand, and renewable energy sources – about 30 percent. In addition, according to the assumptions of the ministry, in 2040 coal will completely disappear from the Polish energy sector.

The Hennig-Kloska thesis

Paulina Hennig-Kloska argued for these solutions in an absurd speech from the podium of the parliament.

Wind power is very much needed in the country’s energy balance today. Wind energy and solar energy are very complementary, because in Poland, often when the sun is shining, the wind is not blowing, and when the wind is blowing, the sun doesn’t shine. This is our charm, our characteristics. Yes Sir. And this energy adds up

– she argued.

Energy from the sun and energy from the wind for twelve months give the same amounts, because in the summer, when we have a lot of sun, there is less wind, because in the winter, when there is less we have sun in the sky, the wind blows.

– explained the minister.

Windmill scandal

Paulina Hennig-Kloska has long been involved in strongly promoting wind power, which about a year ago was the reason for one of the first scandals of the new majority after the election.

We would like to remind you that last November, a group of MPs from Poland 2050 and the Civic Coalition submitted to the Sejm a draft amendment to the Act on support for energy users , extending the energy price freeze until June 30, 2024. , which included an exemption from the law regarding the construction of wind farms in Poland.

The project wanted to be able to build silent windmills just 300m from the buildings. The authors of the project also proposed to expand the catalog of strategic investments to include wind farms, which means that there will be no need to check the compliance of their location with the local development plan . These proposals raised several controversies. Experts claimed that the rules favor large wind power companies and could be the result of lobbying.

A strange correlation was that this input appeared a month after the shares of the German energy company Siemens Energy, which makes wind turbines, fell sharply by almost 40 percent, and shortly after the European Commission issued a favorable opinion on the modified National Reconstruction Plan and announced that Poland will receive more than EUR 5 billion in advance payments.
